Alida

Alida is a small village in southeast Saskatchewan located where Highways 318, 361, and 601 meet. The settlement sits on prairie land and is home to a tight-knit community of around 100 residents.

The village began in 1913 as a Canadian Pacific Railway station, taking its name from Dame Alida Brittain. It gained official village status about 13 years later.

The Memorial Hall serves as the main gathering place where residents come together for regular bingo games and special events. These activities form the backbone of social life in the village.

The village office handles administrative matters for residents and can be reached by phone for inquiries. The location along multiple highways makes it easy to find on the prairie.

When flooding destroyed the original ice rink beyond repair, the community rallied together to build a replacement. The new skating and curling facility was completed in 2017 and stands as a testament to local determination.
